The livestreaming of child sexual abuse and the proliferation of child abuse materials and images that lead to the sexual abuse and rape of children have greatly expanded during the pandemic. Although the arrival of international child sex tourists have fallen in the Philippines, there are still resident foreign pedophiles abusing children. The famous Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), the leading charity tracing pedophiles online and monitoring and shutting down child abuse web sites, has reported that there were 8.8 million attempts by child sex abusers in the United Kingdom to access these sites during lockdowns since 2020 and this year.

The pedophiles are using their internet service providers (ISPs) to access abusive videos and sexual abuse images of children online, to share them, and to order sex acts online where children are abused. This is shocking and astonishing, and this 8.8-million figure is from the UK alone. The traffic of child sexual abuse materials through the ISPs is hundreds if not thousands of millions worldwide. The IWF is one of the few effective organizations battling the abusers and trying to reduce the number being abused. Yet it cannot stop all and millions more around the world are surely getting child abuse materials through the ISPs.
